Remove skin from sausage. Break sausage into chunks and bits into a pan on stove with 1 tbsp olive oil. Brown and drain on paper towels.

While sausage is browning, cook 16 oz box of bowtie pasta according to directions on box.

Clean and cut broccoli into chunks. Put in microwave dish or steamer with 2 tbsp water and cook for 4 minutes.

Add the mushrooms to the broccoli and cook for 1 additional minute.

Drain the pasta and return to the pot; add the chopped garlic, broccoli, and mushrooms. Toss with 1/4 cup of olive oil.

Stir in the sausage. Add more of olive oil if needed to ensure complete coverage of olive oil on all ingredients.

Sprinkle with parmesan cheese after placing on individual plates or bowls.

Add salad and crusty French bread for a wonderfully delicious easy dinner.

This is my husband's favorite recipe. I made the recipe up after eating a similar dish at an Italian restaurant. One day when I asked him what he wanted for dinner, he said the sausage pasta stuff and now that is what we call it.
